Abstract
The nucleoli of lymphocytes undergo a typical sequence of structural changes after stimulation by phytohaemagglutinin. These changes are independent of the cell cycle. Neither the inhibition of DNA-synthesis (by adenosine and methotrexate), nor the elimination of postmitotic interphase nuclei (by a colchicine block of mitoses), nor the release from such blocks has a noticeable effect on nucleolar structure or on the sequence of nucleolar changes. The number of nucleoli per cell is clearly influenced by the cell cycle. Mitosis leads to a marked increase in the number of nucleoli, whereas in all stages of interphase a decrease occurs.Entities:
